What is the purpose of the Giant Flags of the Pentadakylos. What will it achieve? If the Northern Government is seriously intent on Peace talks or Re-unification, is this the right approach? Isnt it just provocation?

There is no purpose except to further infuriate people, even if the flags are facing Turkey. I see no point or purpose in this whatsoever except for spending money for the sake of it. I sincerely hope this does not go ahead, and that they also start dismantling the night time light show on the mountainside as well.

This is our side we can do what we want, we are further form a solution than we have ever been so why do we have wait, we can do what we want in our own country.

And I don't disagree - but erecting flags the size of whatever is provocative to say the least and to me is a waste of money.

Totally agree with you LondonBoy and what is even more important is that these flags are not erected with our (TC's) will,in fact they are being forced on us by somewhere to give us a message.

How do you get flags to face in a specific direction unless they're not naturally directed by the wind... Are they using turbines or something?

fuckwit

Viewpoint, I don't mean to rain on your parade, but you may have an uphill battle convincing people of that.

and what are the people of that you stupid fuckwit. someone who saw the bombs falling at age 6 only 6 km, away, the people of that whose mother was caufght in the fire whilst taking a two year old to the doctor,. You stupid fucknut arshole Canadian people of that whose uncle was killed by the Turks, whose 60 year oild grandmother and 16 year old aunt were almost killed by the turks as they invaded Cyprus.

People of that whose father was missing in action fr two weeks and at the age of 6 his mother had to walk over 100 km to find her husband and their father.

Stupid fucking cunt Canadian.

Clearly utu does not have a clue what he is talking about, Humanist.

I hope he takes note of this suffering that the Cypriots (and you in particular, dear ) faced in '74, and re-thinks his "unbiased" opinions.

You two are certainly missing the point of what I was referring to. When I referred to 'an uphill battle convincing people', I was referring to the current climate of mistrust and the belief that either side would not give a damn about the other. It was that climate of mistrust that was the catalyst for the Cyprus problem in the first place.

So... to put it simply (in deference to you two), as long as each side does not believe in the goodwill of the other side, nothing that anyone can say will matter. You get it now?

My reasons for remaining in the UK are well documented , its nothing to do with finances or business but it is to do with a matter far more important than artificial considerations. I will not go into it since Im certain you know what I mean.
The ROC is my beloved nation , including the part that it does not control.
My motherland is Cyprus which is yours ?

londonboy, thank you for your feedback. that's the impact of war on a 6 year old child and beyond. I don't often loose my cool, that is the second time that I have had such an outburst and I have noticed that bith times have been of foreigners this one of canada and the other one from Australia where I live, who live sheltered lives, have no idea of war and its impact on all those who experience such traumatic events and whose lives have been turned upside down and continue to advocate for not only injustice but excuse one countries invasion of another, in false pretence.

I bet my bottom dollar that Turkey cares nothing for Cypriots who speak Turkish, its main reason for invading Cyprus is the strategic position of the Island.

Just like America's current war on Iraq. If you think it has anything to do with terrorism you are very mistaken or simply believe all that you hear on the radio. The simple truth is aout the oil. Even US officials have gone before to say this is a war on oil.

Furthermore, both foreigners advocating for the divion of the Cypriot people into two camps, live in nations where they would not divide their country in case of canada I do not hear them saying to the French speakers ok we give you Quebec. Secondly the twat from Australia supports the il treatment and discrimination of the indeginous population of Australia, yet was determined to divide Cyprus into two because he supports minority rights. What about the rights of Australia's minority its indeginous population. Fix your own countries shit first before you advocate to screw another people up, because you have no idea.

There are a lot of greek speaking Cypriots who also call the areas in question 'OUR COUNTRY' , legally as well. What can we say to those GCs from those areas?
